Η βελτίωση των οικονομικών της πόλης επέτρεψε την αύξηση του μισθού των ηλιαστών, οπαδών του Κλέωνα στο μεγαλύτερο μέρος τους, από δύο σε τρεις οβολούς.
Remarks about the translation
I have doubts especially in ηλιαστών,
for the dictionary explains it as [sunstroke]
but i think it is related to the ancient greek People's Court (Ηλιαία). So it may mean (judge)
Moreover, when I googled, I found more but indecisive:
I also found it has a feminine gender
so can I transalte it into (judge or judge from people)

Target language: English

The improvement of the city's economy allowed a salary increase from two to three obols for the Heliasts, who for the most part were fans of Cleon.
Remarks about the translation
in my opinion it's better to use "polis" instead of "city".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliaia

The feminine noun is "Ηλιάστριες". "Ηλιαστές" is masculine
